“First time visit to Joseph’s. I purchased their mild & hot sausage along with prosciutto di parma. The older gentleman who took my order was patient and kind despite me coming in a few minutes before closing on a Friday.
I highly recommend Joseph’s, their sausage was so delicious and not salty as many other places are. They are pricer than other locations however it is worth it to support a small business and their high quality meats.
I’m looking forward to returning and being a regular customer.
Thank you

“I have visited Thuringer Meats only once but it was an awesome experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the interior was clean and well organized. The meat selection is extensive and they have some frozen options too. There are homemade meals that are also offered in the frozen foods cooler. The deli and other various meats are high quality and cut to order, when possible. The Ribeye steak I purchased grilled nicely and popped with flavor. The lamb loin chops were fresh and tasty too. Looking forward to shopping here again soon! 100% recommend!”
“My office’s favorite place for lunch. The sandwiches, soups and salads are always so fresh and delicious and the staff is exceedingly friendly and accommodating. We love Forza!”
“I came in to try that NY strip steak sandwich that people have been raving about on Google. The verdict is the hype is real. The NY strip steak is very tender and flavorful. It’s like a medium rare burger, it requires very little chewing. It’s the combination of the French roll, the steak, the grilled onions, and Asiago cheese that truly make it just a great sandwich. Even after devouring it, it’s still on my mind and I wouldn’t mind coming back to try other items on the menu. Customer service is very friendly and attentive. You can tell they care about their customers. Parking is easy, you just have to go into that big lot to the right. Prices are very fair for the quality of meat.”
“Have purchased meat/steaks from here in the past and have been extremely impressed. Recently purchased a corned beef and bangers, they were outstanding; both quality and flavor!!!”
“$12.99 for quite possibly the best corned beef sandwich in Chicago....YES PLEASE....my mouth is watering just describing the amazing quality and experience this Sammie has....Eat Local is a local Chicago food review channel on YouTube and these 2 guys, Sean Ely and Corey Wagner are right, this is an unexpected taste explosion....definitely a huge must visit recommendation.....enjoy PEEPS and also, everything on the menu is probably A1 TOP NOTCH as well”
“Consistently quality all natural meats and seafood. Great takeout menu, best burger in Chicagoland.
Ended the curse of the Billy goat ensuring the 2016 Chicago Cubs Worlds Series victory. Those other guys brought a live goat to break the curse. These fellows at Carnivore killed the f'ing goat.
Hardcore.”
“EVERYTHING is and always has been outstanding … Try the London Broil “cuts” they melt in your mouth …
Made on the grill, then untied them and tossed w fresh grilled asparagus and goat cheese … AMAZING”
“The new owners did a great job reorganizing the store and getting it cleaned up. The meat and groceries are very competitively priced. Sometimes, it can be hard to get a hold of someone on the phone. They also got rid of a lot of the processed meat selection that used to be available.Note: their Sunday hours are now 10 am to 5 pm.”
“Very busy for the Thanksgiving season, the line was very fast due crowd preparation in advance. Bought fresh Cornish hen for Thanksgiving which was really excellent.”
“Great place to get your favorite meats and not only. They have a nice variety of smoked meat, smoked sausage and even sweets. The owners always greet you with a smile on their face and it's always a pleasure to stop by. And BTW, they also deliver and ship cross country. I highly recommend Saravale Meat Market”
“I love this groceries store definitely been a community staple for yearssssssss I don't have enough S to add im 45 Mario's was around when I was very young like 1985 Capital Hill Shit”
“Please check them out. The customer service was great! Joseph was very helpful in helping me decide on what to get and how I should have the meat cut. Throwing a party for 70 people and got everything I needed in one place! The price was really great!”
“Honest and reliable and good quality meat! Great customer service. Only flaw is that they are so busy that sometimes they are out of stock on super popular items.”
“? A Thank You That Truly Matters ?
I want to take a moment to publicly thank Blue Ribbon Meat Market and its owner for doing something that truly matters in our community.
I just heard about the most wonderful thing about this business—and it deserves to be shared.
So many times, businesses come into our neighborhoods—especially African American and other minority communities—and we show up for them. We spend our dollars consistently. We support them faithfully. We help keep their doors open.
Yet when we have a product or service, too often those same businesses won’t even give us a try. Not a test order. Not a conversation. Not an opportunity.
That’s why this moment deserves recognition.
Blue Ribbon didn’t just take from the community—they gave back. They made the intentional decision to try their commercial dish detergent from Edit Enterprise LLC, and in doing so, they invested financially into a local, minority-owned business from the very community that supports them.
That choice matters.
That decision speaks volumes.
That action helps build real economic equity.
Supporting local isn’t just about where your building is—it’s about who you choose to support, who you create opportunities for, and whether you circulate dollars back into the community that sustains you.
If you haven’t supported Blue Ribbon Meat Market yet, go support them—because they support us.
So thank you to Blue Ribbon for:
• Being open-minded
• Being intentional
• Supporting local and minority-owned businesses
• Showing what real community partnership looks like
This is how trust is built.
This is how communities grow stronger.
This is how meaningful change happens.
Thank you for setting an example—and for showing that giving back isn’t just a slogan, it’s an action.

“Everything there is it's very fresh I mean they offer everything from fruits to fresh cut meats to an actual taco restaurant to bakery to corn on the cob just everything possible you can find in the store and everyone is always so polite”
“Best spot on the west side of Chicago to go to for fresh meats and butcher and the prices are great they have everything you need for meats great spot and nick is cool as ever”
“, the carnitas, the barbecue, the Menudo on the weekends, delicious fresh food daily, affordable prices, the store is very clean, the service is excellent, I will return”
“Have been buying your smoked pork, hams, and bacon...quite possibly some of the best smoked cured pork shoulder I've ever had. I've worked as a chef on the Northside for a long time. My family has lived in cragin Park fully n cicero for a long time. Very high quality products. Grab some sausages you won't be disappointed”
“Drivers coming here to unload, best way I’ve found is to turn north on Nórdica Ave. That would be left if you are coming from Harlem Ave and then back to the side of the building. This way you have easy access to get back on to Harlem. Also they are open at 4am, but won’t unload you until the forklift drivers come. Unloading will be off the street. I hope this helps.”
“Really love this store and the meal options it provides for my family. I've only had an issue with one item. We bought two packages of Baby Bella mushrooms and we noticed when washing them that they had a red slimey substance on the bottom of them. We looked this up online and everything we found said not to eat them. I will definitely continue to shop here...I'll just stay away from the mushrooms!”
“Give Kyle a raise! Within two sentences he both read my mind and guided me to the cuts in my price range and flavor profile. His service somehow exceeds the quality of the steaks. I will be back because of his service, no doubt!”
“Its been a neighborhood store for many years. Changed name and service is better, good customer service, western union too, and I always find what I'm looking for. Stock is always plentiful!”
“This is such delicious meat. I heard about Purely’s from a friend. I tried it and have ordered 3 times since. In fact, I placed a Christmas dinner of prime tenderloin roast today. It is always melt in your mouth delicious!! Order some today!! A lot of my friends have and they love it too!!!”

“They have good selection of meats from chicken, goat, chicken liver, mutton liver, mutton legs, etc. The baby goat meat seems to be bit pricy compared to other shops in other Indian areas. Overall you will find good meat here.”
“Bought the chicken fried chicken wasn’t real happy with it and they were nice enough to contact me after I emailed them a letter and took great care of me. They do stand by their customers and I am very pleased with the way they handled my situation. Thank you again for great customer service.”
“Love their selection of desi food products. Very nice and helpful owner . I hope they would bring back their qeema patties which were amazing . Their prices are so reasonable as well. I have moved away from Mediterranean market and become their permanent customer now.”
“This place has been a staple in my family for as long as I can remember. Their chicken and especially potato salad is something I crave all the time! The people that own it are the best and the service is fantastic. Highly recommend!”

“Fast loading. 30mins for paperwork. No biggie. If you are picking up, get here before 5am and they will load you. After 7am they prioritize local restaurants. Then start loading again after 10am. Decent backing in space. Once backed half way you have space to pull forward into a drive way.”
